Reminder: Thom Tillis, John Cornyn, and Bill Cassidy are all current sitting Senators. They have the ability to do more than complain and put out statements. If they don’t act now, when they have real power, I don’t want to see them on TV in four months opining.

Congrats to all the Democratic Senators who decided to give the President more unilateral tariff power

I’m not in the “never take AIPAC money” camp, and I appreciated the opportunity to have a real conversation. If we’re going to scrutinize money in politics, I think we should apply that scrutiny consistently.

.@SamSeder with the health policy potshot on @neeratanden at the end after she stayed twice as long as she was supposed to and was not around to respond was pretty disappointing. At least do it face to face. Their policy conversation ended in a lot of agreement on the filibuster, court reform, and yes health care. Neera brought a lot of receipts for CAP's health care plan. Seder I don't think did... and at the end of the day as he'll remember from ACA debate... people do want an option to keep their private health care plans especially union members who negotiated as part of their CBAs!

@neeratanden @TVietor08 @SamSeder Tommy asked me about our critiques, and I answered. No plotting on my end. There were zero discussions with your team (to my knowledge) about me being included in this debate. We legit thought including me at the last minute would be unfair to you, and now you’re complaining lol

[Hutch @hutchinson]

Woah woah WOAH. Correct me if I'm wrong. But I was told that the left had an epiphany during this cycle, and they now think that criticizing dem candidates during general election campaigns amounts to wanting the republican to win.

18 days before an election btw.

BREAKING: Elon Musk approached Trump with the plan to choke off Ukraine's use of SpaceX's Starshield, and Trump agreed, but Musk then distanced himself after fearing a loss of revenue in Europe from his companies, per four sources to The Telegraph.

Musk publicly blamed the White House, saying any limits on speed or usage were decided solely by the US military and the president. "He tweeted out that he was innocent and that it was the US administration that did it. The reality is that they were both in it," a senior source said.

He only moved to distance himself after a night of carnage in Kyiv caused by the slowdown, alarmed about backlash from European customers of Tesla and Starlink.

Zelensky says he will now defy Trump's order to stop strikes on Russian oil refineries and will continue. "The main rule of our operations is to respond," he says.

La genialidad de Isayama no radica en "disculpar" a Eren, sino en desnudarnos la patética y terrorífica realidad de que las mayores atrocidades de la historia humana muchas veces nacen del capricho, la inmadurez y el odio ciego de mentes que nunca pudieron sanar.+

[The Hormuz Letter @HormuzLetter]

BREAKING: The order to limit Ukraine's Starshield satellite access this week came directly from inside the White House, with leaders at the Defense Department receiving a message that the service needed to be slowed immediately, per multiple officials to Reuters.

Yet, White House officials told the Ukrainians yesterday they do not have control over SpaceX, and one source said the administration is going to reach out to SpaceX to figure out what happened.

Musk said Starshield is owned and controlled by the US government and that "any limits on speed or usage are decided by the US military and ultimately POTUS."

Zelensky said the failures were deliberate. "It was not a technical problem, it was the will."

The odds of rate hikes are rising sharply on the news.

[The Hormuz Letter @HormuzLetter]

BREAKING: Ukraine to restart major strikes on Russia's oil refineries, with Zelensky declaring "The block on attacking refineries is out. We're done," per the FT.

Zelensky says the reason for the restart is Trump lying to him by deliberately blocking Starlink but presenting it to Kyiv as a "technical glitch," as well as telling Ukraine that the missed ballistic missile warnings earlier this week was due to "bad weather," which killed 6.

"It was not a technical problem, it was the will," from Trump, he says.

He also slammed Trump's eagerness to strike a diesel deal with Russia and Trump's apparent admiration for Putin, saying Trump has an instinctive affinity for autocrats and the super-wealthy. "He speaks about it openly and loudly that he loves such people and he respects such people," Zelensky says.

[The Hormuz Letter @HormuzLetter]

BREAKING: The US has intentionally withheld early warnings of Russian missile strikes on Ukraine this week, but US officials told their Ukrainian counterparts the system used to detect Russian missile launches had failed due to "bad weather," per CBS.

Ukrainian officials did not believe the excuse and accused the US of "playing" with the system. The strike killed 6 and left more than 600,000 without power.

Zelensky said hours later that Elon Musk and Trump deliberately blocked Starlink in Ukraine and that people have been killed as a result.
